Correct Answer:

the, the

The correct answer is Option (2) → the, the

  • "The Lion" → We use "the" before "Lion" because we are referring to a specific category or species (lions in general).
  • "The King of beasts" → We use "the" because there is only one recognized "King of beasts" (a unique title).

Thus, the correct sentence is: "The Lion is the King of beasts."
